Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we have a rare day-date watch with an attractive dial.

Rolex Day Date Cream All Tritium
Ref.18238 Serial.E3 (manufactured around 1991)
Cal.3155 8385/FF55B Clasp Code P2
Accessories: Warranty card (160: UK/September 1991)
SOLD OUT!!

The Day-Date is Rolex's highest-end model, available only in gold and platinum.
This is the "Ref. 18238" model, which is the first to allow the change of the day of the week in addition to the date display.

Compared to the thick kamaboko case of the previous model "Ref.18038",
The case has been changed to a stylish one.

The charm of this Day-Date is its lustrous shiny white dial!!

When you actually try to find an old-style Day-Date with a white dial, it's pretty hard to find one.
I have the impression that they were still commonly seen a while ago, but they have become much less common recently.

Since there are overwhelmingly more champagne dials available,
It is a beautiful dial that gives off a very fresh feeling.

This dial is a transparent shiny dial.

Like the shiny white dials of the Daytona and Explorer II,
It is a beautiful dial that is very attractive.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The index luminous material is in perfect condition with no missing parts!

Considering it was manufactured over 30 years ago, the condition is simply amazing!

The needle luminous material is also in good condition.

The dial condition is also excellent, and can be seen with a magnifying glass to be in excellent condition.

Well, there is one more attractive feature about this particular one.

Do you all understand?

This watch has a beautiful white dial,
As you can see, it has a creamy color and a great atmosphere!

Here is a comparison photo with the Ref. 16570 with a pure white dial.
They both have white dials, but you can clearly see the difference in color!

Indeed, this particular model exudes an atmosphere similar to that of a Cream Daytona.

The overall condition is that there are some scratches and small marks due to use,
Overall condition is good.

The bezel and middle case are in good condition!

There is no excessive finishing and it is in very good condition.

Buckle clasp code is "P2"

The President bracelet (full frame) is in good condition and has very slight wear and tear.
The condition is good!!

Accessories include warranty card, serial tag, day-date booklet (92), Oyster booklet (92)
We have it all!!

The warranty card and serial tag included are nice touches!

Wrist shot!!
This cream day-date watch is comfortable on the wrist and has a soft impression!
The more you look at it, the more seductive and beautiful the dial becomes!!

Rolex Day-Date "Ref.18238/Big Roma"
This watch has a gorgeous glossy cream dial that exudes a unique atmosphere!
The overall condition is good and a warranty is included, so I highly recommend it!

This is a model that seems likely to attract attention in the future.
If you are looking for an older Day-Date model, please consider this one.
